I'm always a liability until I get that one random match where I play like a pro then get gut punched the next game when I suck again. 😂

I have a very similar opinion about Consort Radahn. Even before seeing your video or hearing anyone else's analysis about him, I recognized that FromSoft wanted to create a boss that pushes the player to their limits, that asked for near perfection and was the ultimate opportunity for the devs to say "throw anything and everything you can think of at this guy, he's still hard as hell." He feels like the ultimate challenge that tests you in so many different ways, yet allows for so much player freedom with how to approach him (moreso now that he got nerfed).

Sometimes it feels like algorithm is penetreting my mind to the very core, showing me this video exactly right now and today when i can relate so much to what you say. You touched something very individual and deep for many of us but also you did something important, something that is missing for millions of people in the world today, lost in the madness of consumption, where other people's thoughts occupy their heads so much that most people no longer have space for their own. You created space to stop and reflect. Don't worry that the video was heavier and wasn't funny, not everything has to be funny, sometimes it's worth delving into yourself in search of direction, otherwise we'll just consume and be like a leaf in the wind driven just by surface desires, never really deeply understanding anything really. Thank you for this video and cheers from poland!

wow, glad I clicked on this video. Thank you

wow. this video really found me at a great time. Thank you, you've really helped me today. -a struggling kid in college, who loves Darksouls

Many of us can relate to the endless chase you talk about, and it's easy to overlook the damage it perpetuates. Very well said ❤

This was a great video man. I found your take on the topic very interesting. I think a lot of people might need to hear this and will relate to it. I really hope this video is pushed out a lot by You Tube <3

Totally agree! I spent hours fighting Consort Radahn and dying. The next day I killed him in 20 minutes using only 4 crimson flasks. Many videos online told me that summoning gives him more health and makes his moves less predictable. But I summoned everyone to take on the final boss and used a Holy Black Steel Greatshield and Bleed Lance to show even a God can bleed and after beating him handedly wanting to take it back and try different builds to beat him. Him and Bayle were my biggest challenges where I first tried the Dancing Lion and Rellana.

This is the last bit souls content we're getting in the foreseeable future. Why are people so eager to carve out this void in their existence. I would feel sooooo cheated if the final boss was just "kinda difficult".

While I agree with with most of your view, I think bosses will never feel as big of an accomplishments if they have almost unavoidable move casually. If you tune down enemy damage, souls game is a quite basic RPG, but when the damage of random stragglers can kill you in 3 hits, avoiding damage becomes important. And only when combined with 99% of the time dodgable moveset, you can feel that getting hit is your fault. And in turns, when you finally beat the boss, it's an accomplishments that people can feel pride off. Because you had successfully dodge enough of their attacks and find opening to deal damage. If some moves can't be avoided, it's just hoping you don't get the sure hit moves. Where victory will feel like you got get lucky that they didn't spam it too much and defeat just feels like unlikely. Stripping away the player agency. You can argue stacking buffs and summons trivialise the challenge, but elden ring is made to provide options in overcoming challenges. It's just like saying estus flask is a cheat because people have no hit run. You're free to learn to no hit the boss or learn to build and overpowering the boss and everything in between. But having sure hit move simply disallow pure skill expressions and forcing the player to get X amount of health/ dps to avoid it. I would rather they put a penalty when you enter the boss gate, take away X amount of health, flask than to fight a souls boss with sure hit attack. Also while the light spectacle is really fitting lore wise and build up the boss to be even more climatic, it's not a reason to obsecure boss movement as it is the only way to react to their moves reliably

I firmly disagree. There's nothing new about broken builds in Elden Ring, they've always existed in every FromSoft game and there's never been a DLC before that so aggressively undermined those builds. Dark Souls, Demon's Soul, and Bloodborne were never only about overcoming adversity through raw skill alone. Part of "gitting gud" has also always included learning how to outsmart and exploit the game. No single boss should take HUNDREDS of attempts unless a player is doing some kind of restrictive challenge run. Dozens maybe, but not hundreds. Being hard for the sake of being hard was never supposed to be the point, and I feel like especially among players who started with Elden Ring, they miss the fact that the mantra most fans of FromSoft games would use to describe them used to be, "challenging but fair." The problem with the notion that each game should just keep being harder than the last, is that there is an upper limit to human reflexes. The difference to what can and can't be reacted to can be measured in frames. If each game keeps trying to one up the previous, there inevitably comes a point where even the most talented players will have difficulty keeping up and where more average players will be left behind entirely. To be perfectly honest, if the games are going to try to keep getting harder we are going to start needing difficulty modes. Not an "easy" mode, but rather a baseline "normal" mode that never surpasses what an average player would be capable of and where no boss ever takes more than a couple dozen attempts, vs a "challenge" mode for players who want to push themselves to the utmost extremes and where some bosses might take hundreds of attempts... and before anyone tries to say difficulty modes would be against FromSoft's design principles, I would point to the Demon Bell in Sekiro, or the Covenant of Champions in Dark Souls 2, or heck, even World Tendency in Demon's Soul.

Promised Consort Radahn is the best boss ever

Glazing is insane. Where is the dark souls and sekiro level of bosses? Only messmer was fun for me in this dlc. And try to harden the fight by adding that twinks hair not to allow players to see anything and holy beams attacks are well-designed for you? And the outro words "we just have to try to learn to enjoy this" is pure insanity

Great video! Personally I loved the spike from base ER to Shadow. I love souls games and have been playing them for years. When you look back at even dark souls there is a massive change in flow and difficulty from the base game to the dlc, same with bloodborne. There were tweaks in the dlc bosses that changed the flow of battle from the base game. So I would’ve been very disappointed if this wasn’t the case with Shadow of the Erdtree. Needless to say I had nothing to worry about as the pacing is so very different in the fights. It took me almost two weeks to beat the dlc and I missed a lot of stuff but every boss and challenge was so fun and new and intriguing. I died somewhere in the 300s range with promised consort before I finally beat him but it was so very fun and satisfying and I learned something almost every run. Which is why I love souls games. I play them for that very reason. I’m not saying that’s for everyone but every game doesn’t have to be for everyone. For example I don’t think fps games are unfair just because I suck at them. I know some ppl say “git gud “ as an insult but since back in the day when it came to souls games I never felt like it was an insult, more like a challenge. Anyway enjoyed the video! Thanks!

Excellent video. I fought him 8 times with the same build all the way to NG+7. The nerf came out in the middle of my attempts in NG+7, and so I got a real good comparison of before and after patch. I did find him to be a little slower in spots, a little less flash, but overall still a tough fight. My personal measuring stick for good design or bad design is, do I enjoy the fight no matter how many attempts it takes. Am I a little disappointed when I beat the boss, that I don't get to continue the dance. Bosses I love are all bosses I had to fight a lot to beat. Examples for me are Nameless King, Slave Knight Gael, Isshin Sword Saint, Owl Father, and Malenia. All those fights took me a long time to master, and yet I was a little sad beating them, knowing it was over (until Ng+🤣) Promised Consort for me is right in that wheelhouse. Thanks for the work you put into this Patrick!

Being from the ds2 community, neither me nor anyone I know from that group of the community had any problems with the dlc, being rather positive about things. Since we know just how malicious fromsoft can be if they want to be. Most complaints are either from newcomers who aren’t use to it, or ds3 entitlement - thinking that just because they beat one game means that they don’t have to “git gud” anymore. And it’s the game’s fault for them dying smh.

i liked a majority of the video but i do want to comment on the point you made during the consort radahn section, that we shouldn't expect fromsoft to design bosses by our standards. first i want to clarify that i do think the cross slash was consistently dodgable even pre-nerf, it just needed a certain positioning to pull it off. but if it really wasn't consistently dodgable then i really would take an issue with the design, because the thing is that we've only come to set certain standards for fromsoft's work because of what they've done in the past. i think we need to consider why people even set this standard for fromsoft in the first place; if fromsoft never designed fair bosses that could be no-hitted under the harshest restrictions, no one would be expecting them to make fair bosses in this dlc. but the thing is that for over a decade almost all of their bosses have had mass appeal to challenge runners (myself included) who love to learn the intricacies of their bosses. if consort radahn's cross slash really wasn't possible to dodge consistently, then i do actually believe this would be a glaring issue because it would be a departure from what we've grown to love and expect from fromsoft to elaborate on my point, i want to cite a quote from miyazaki on how he intends to elicit satisfaction through fairness in difficulty: "In order to produce the satisfaction of comprehension, there first needs to be the process of comprehension. Furthermore, the overarching idea at hand needs to be something that is actually comprehensible." i think this really applies to all of the most beloved fromsoft bosses, we love them because we're able to fully understand a boss's arsenal and learn the counters. the satisfaction doesn't just come from the relief of overcoming a wall of difficulty, it comes in the moment-to-moment satisfaction too. if the boss design puts up a challenge that players cant understand a counter to, that they begin to feel as if they have no agency in overcoming this challenge, it really hurts the level of satisfaction i and many other players feel, because i don't feel like im going to succeed because i understood the fight. ill just feel like i understood it enough to get lucky, which really isn't what the core philosophy has always been. i disagree that the goal of souls boss design is simply to survive by whatever means necessary, i believe it's supposed to give you moment-to-moment satisfaction along the path to survival as well, which is best accomplished by giving the player a feeling of improvement as they come to comprehend the boss on a deeper level (btw i just want to clarify radahn is also my personal favorite boss, but if he really was unfair i would have a major issue with that. i only like him because i do think he's a fair boss who offers that satisfaction of understanding and 100% mastering the fight)

Most of the complaints about the dlc came from self-imposed rules about how the game should be played. If you utilise all of the tools provided, nothing in the dlc is an unreasonable challenge.

Geat vid, bro ! I'd be interested in your feedback on the previous games after playing Elden Ring, an especially the DLC. I sometimes compare old movesets with the newest ones. To me, it is insane to think that almost every boss in SotA is faster, more aggresive, with longer combos and harder hitting moves than Freya, Genichiro, Gael and Kos. These bosses were at some point considered the hardest and now they seem easy in comparison. Now, while I agree that we became better (which makes the game feel tamer), I disagree with the notion that the games need to get ever harder. It's fine if not all bosses are incredibly hard. Because then, that would mean that Radahn is going to be the next baseline. Do we really want every boss to take 6 hours of learning. To get to SotE, you first need to defeat Mogh, one of the 5 hardest bosses in Elden Ring and clearly not a push over. The fact that people that beat him find the DLC too hard is quite revealing. I also think the learning curve is not properly applied in Elden Ring. Bosses like Messmer, Radahn, Malenia, Midra and Rellana ask you to memorize full-on combos that last for hours, while giving you zero opportunity to heal, causing massive damage, procing crazy statuses (like rot or frenzy) and having HP pool deeper than the ocean. My small pea brain and my poor reflexes cannot take all of that all at once. This, in my opinion, is bad a learning curve. A good learning curve is Freya, or Gael, Maria, or Bayle. They start with a slower, less aggressive, more passive moveset that contains 5 or 6 moves, with at max 5 hits combos. Their windows of opportunities are clear enough that you know when to heal or attack. When you get to phase 2, the combos get longer, the range is increased and there are less opportunities BUT you already know phase 1 so you can manage. This is why I agree with you on Radahn, even though he goes overboard with it (too much HP, too much DMG, Combos a bit too long, BUT nice learnable moveset) While I always loved the achievement of beating dark souls bosses, this is less true with Elden Ring and especially SotE. I feel like the bosses hit too hard and I hit too weak. The fight that are already intense fell exhausting. Some bosses, such as Midra, I beat while in the zone, not really knowing how I did it. If I were to fight them again, I would die, for sure, dozens of times... Maybe more than that. I never felt like that with Dark Souls or Sekiro. When I beat a boss then, I was sure I could do it again with a few tries. When I beat Malenia and Radahn, no excitement dwelled inside me. Instead was a pure sigh of relief. 'It's finally done... Never again..." I thought. If you want to look at a perfect learning curve, look at Bayle. He is a different beast. Bayle is perfect. His moveset is difficult but fair. He has the perfect amount of HP, the perfect number of moves, his combos are 6 hits at most, his phase 2 builds upon his phase 1 in a satisfying way. This boss was pure awesomness.

No

I have a ton of issues with most ER videos and I constantly get called a fanboy for pointing out where people's points don't hold up to scrutiny when they're criticizing the game. I wish some of those people were here now because I think this video is equally flawed in the other direction. You said you need to master Radahn to beat him, provably false. There's endless clips across the Internet of people shield poking him to death. It's incredibly brain dead and completely trivializes the encounter. This is just one of the MANY ways you can trivialize the fight. Second, you said most of your deaths came from 'X slash clipping you pushing you into the light pillars and not being able to see/understand his next attack' 👆 This is NOT what these games are about. When you die/get hit you should understand exactly what you did wrong and how to correct it. They are about learning through failure and this is from the creators mouth. There's a reason Fromsoft patched out the frame trap... It has NEVER about difficulty at all costs... Which is why the patch was made. This argument that I keep seeing people parroting that 'these games aren't designed to be hitless' while generically true is largely nonsense. It is a natural consequence of a well designed and balanced encounter in a game with limited health and finite healing. All damage should be avoidable or you end up in situations where the player is out of heals, low on health and about to secure victory when the boss pulls out their unavoidable frame trap and RNG decides that they get to lose this time. Most players don't find this satisfying and it can rob players of those memorable moments where they are able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The fight is riddled with inconsistencies some of which were addressed with the patch and others not. Furthermore, it's a fight that is almost entirely deviod of all the things that make ER combat excel. You stick to his knee, roll left and punish. It's pretty restrictive and allows for very little skill expression. Go check out Nasu's latest upload if you haven't already as he highlights every issue with the encounter from poor hitboxes, to his poise, AI issues and his general moveset. Excellent watch. Look, I've done some crazy shit in these games, particularly for a console player. I have 15+ minute long perfect hitless boss wins at RL1+0 no anything. I've no hit the game, I likely have more time just challenge running ER alone than most people have in the entire series. I'm clearly not a player who's averse to a challenge. I'm not saying this as a flex but as someone who loves a challenge and has a fairly rigorous understanding of the games combat mechanics and bosses. However, when that challenge comes from inconsistencies, unfairness and boring gameplay I lose interest. PCR was an atrociously bad boss before the patch, he's now a tolerable C tier fight that has almost no room for player expression and still has a lot of issues. There's a lot of other issues with the video as well, like claiming the DLC bosses have longer combos and less punish windows than the base game... They don't. That is nonsense and most of them are actually quite a bit more simplistic than base game fights. Idk, the video is well made but i just think your points are terrible. No offense.

Maybe you should have used a shield.

DS3 was my 1st and like you I had been away from gaming for about 5-10yrs. It will always be special as it changed my perspective on gaming and rpgs and dragged me back in! can’t say I’ve played many other games since - enjoyed the vid!

The complaints are overblown, but im glad they nerfed PCR, hes definitely more fun now while still being hard. I also wish they would go back to having more puzzle bosses since those would often have unique atmosphere and be a good break from mechanically tough fights. Also bosses that serve a more narrative purpose like Sif or Maiden of Asteria

The only thing I disagree with is the idea that builds that make certain, if not most, bosses significantly easier is against the core of From's design philosophy. Ever since Demon's Souls, there were plenty of ways to manage the challenges, from the classic 'gittin' gud' to using NPC or player summons to using magic to grinding for more levels; hell, shields made all the difference prior to BB. The difference between fighting O&S in DS1 solo and fighting them with Solaire, for example, is night and day, let alone while being a mage yourself. Apart from maybe Sekiro, that hasn't changed, because 'getting gud' is just one way they want the players to succeed. They don't care HOW you succeed; they just care that you do, in a way that suits you. Miyazaki himself admits that he's terrible at games, and that when replaying Elden Ring in the midst of SotE's development, he used spirit ashes to assist him. Trial and error is about more than just repeatedly beating your head against the many walls of these games until they give in, but also trying different builds and strategies and tools. ER is a very open-ended game with a lot of tools and builds, and it very actively caters to the players who will prioritize fun and engagment over optimization. IF they happen to overlap, tho, then good on them. Admittedly, it caters to me and the Ongbals of the world (the experimentation and creativity, not the no-hit part), and other such players. That's not to say balancing goes out the window, but that this is a sandbox and a playground to find your own niche and joy. About the learning curve, you absolutely had to do the same in the previous games. In DS1, if you played melee, you had to ignore shields, summons, and even pyromancy. Same for DS2. In BB, you had to ignore parry-spamming, fire paper/serrated weapon combos, summons again, certain blood gems, and even just R1-spamming a lot of the times. In DS3, summons again and certain weapons like the Sellsword Twinblades, even shields to a smaller extent. This really is nothing new and just boils down to 'play the way you want to play'. I'd make the argument that since these were more linear games, these imbalances and willing handicaps are an even bigger issue. I do find it a bit funny that you mentioned that SotE's bosses adhere more to a 'git gud' style of overcoming difficulty, when every mandatory boss has summons available right in front of their room, and Messmer and Bayle even have summons INSIDE their arenas, meaning they will not receive the usual buff. Hell, Messmer has TWO; Hornsent and Jolan. I also find it is much easier and time-efficient to overlevel yourself with Fragments in the DLC than with regular grinding in the base game. I also just think the the DLC boss combos are fewer in number and more static in execution; they don't have the combo-branching variability and reactiveness of bosses like Margit/Morgott, Malenia, and Maliketh. Sorry, but I do think you conflated personal experiences and even preferences with developer intention.

really, im just happy radahn’s criss cross was nerfed

The online experience for souls games is criminally under-appreciated. IMO everyone should summon, be summoned, invade, and be invaded. It adds extra dimensions to the experience.

I fully agree with you also the cross slash IS dodgeable i dodged it 3 times in a row live on stream (it's in the last video i made about Radahn) but people just want to put the blame on something other than themselves when they're being stomped over and over and it's really sad how fromsoft actually listened to them

Craziness lmao. Ppl still trying to defend this garbage. The fckin things moves start before his last ones finish, before he’s even fixed his position. Stop it. This is not logical development, it’s as artificial as artificial gets. Boss who moves faster than you, starts moves before he finishes his last one, 7-8 string combos, delayed effects after the attacks in second phase. Just stop. If it was logical development he wouldn’t have been patched. You ppl think your propping fromsoft up but what your really doing is ruining souls for kissing their ass for producing this hot garbage:

Absolutely beautiful take on shadow of the erdtree & its final boss, i too love this boss it one of my favorites in all my time gaming, also appreciated hearing a summary of your journey thru souls games ^w^

Man this video is nearly all I started to think after finishing the first playthrough of the DLC and going for the second. In a way with time ER has become easy due to how much strength a well crafted build gave to a player to the point of not really needing any skill to surpass any boss. When playing SOTE I though we'll this is to show that there is room for a challenge even in such a game, even after such a long time and it felt so very exciting to take it on and learn again and discover! It felt like one of those warrior manga moments "only when near death do we truly feel alive" and that's the beauty of it! 😁

See, to me these games aren't nessesarily designed with overcoming adversity as a theme in mind. Consider the fatalistic endings for all of the different storylines across the games. So often, all roads lead to the end with Miyazaki games. Even Elden Ring, with all of its different ending options, basically has you selecting which way to break an already shattered world in what may still be a dying universe. You as a tarnished are basically timeless, but by the end there is still enough uncertainty to make it unclear if all time can save the LB. Death is not something you can overcome in these games. It's a part of the experience, and over the years I've almost come to see it as more of a storytelling choice. The ways bosses move, and bring that certainty back to the player, is sort of a part of their personalities - something that gets into the dna of the world. I believe that is the first step to recovery from a syndrome that I am seeing fit to call "The Sweats." Abandon all hope. The games have always been challenging, this is true. But I'd argue they've actually always been more bark than bite. I remember the git gud thing being somewhat facetious. The games seem overly punishing at first because the design language heavily utilizes obfuscation. Once you understand the language of a particular one, layers of that opacity drop off and you kind of just see different potential ways of exploring problems. It becomes less about conquering the land and more about learning and discovering it. I've beaten Elden Ring a solid dozen times now and am still learning different ways of dealing with different things, and entirely different things that can happen! To me these games are all about mystery and problem solving. They aren't hard only so that you can feel the satisfaction of beating the hard thing. The ways that they are hard, are all about making learning challenges into fun and creative endeavors. I think a lot of the frustration with Elden Ring is bleed over from everyone being used to open worlds that basically send players on curated tracks through their world space, whereas Elden Ring isn't really about ticking boxes, but making your own sense of what to do and getting lost in the mystery of moment to moment. It's like that split in vacation strats among people. Some like them spontaneous and unplanned. Others do the Disney-style thing where every hour of every day of a whole week, is charted out. Disney-style won't work with Soulsborne. Their whole M.O. is hiding not only story, but gameplay information in order to bait out the mystery and get you to continually learn as you play. Whenever you're stuck, there is always an answer. There have always been many. And the question is never if you are good enough, just if you understand what's in front of you well enough to deal with it.

That Radahn intro 🤣🤣🤣 subbed

Elden Ring is my first "souls" game. I'm a little disappointed that they nerfed Radahn in the DLC. I just started the DLC I wont get to experience pre-nerf Radahn. Hopefully modders will take care of that.

I actually loved your video, I see it a From Software cycle, I've been playing their games since 2015 & I'll let you know right now, that with every game they released since then has been met with difficulty complaints all around the internet, but back then, this stuff mostly happened in game forums & Reddit posts so not much in the TH-cam scene, where it began to seem very loud has been since Sekiro released, all the difficulty complaints about the game were crazy, even Elden Ring base game we all know how that looked back in 2022, Armored Core 6 also had difficulty complaints to the point FromSoft felt forced to nerf Balteus & other bosses in that game (Godammit!!!), and now Shadow of the Erdtree, it's always a cycle with these games, now it's much more palpable to the community, of course Elden Ring saw the biggest uproar because the game was HUGE in popularity so you'll be seeing newcomers complaining about it. There were ways to circumvent base game Elden Ring difficulties, just like any Souls game before (look up broken builds in Bloodborne, DS1/2/3, there are a lot), I felt Shadow of the Erdtree kind of made those weaker but still quite powerful, just not as before. Elden Ring's bosses have much more combat expression than previous Souls with way more combo-branching, delayed attacks that you can punish, jump-attack some attacks & duck follow-ups etc, it's just a more complex game to deal with.

I think Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree is the only souls game where the final boss is actually the hardest

videos good, and while I enjoyed radahn when I beat him pre patch, there were some things that I didn't like, mainly the cross slash and the fact that the bloodflame attack isn't an attack window. Also, if you go to fight him again, try it without using a hyperarmour AoW and try to use as much of your moveset as you can, so your rolling attacks, jump attacks, charged and uncharged heavies, you'll have a great time

Dude the way you described the learning curve for PCR and how you must really learn the boss instead of relying on 50% on luck or broken builds in order to win is perfect 👌. Radahn is the ultimate skill check and saying "git gud" couldn't fit any better in this case. The idea of surviving attacks also applies to waterfowl dance since the 2 and 3 flurries are dodge able so there's no need to panic if you take some damage on the first flurry. Another great observation you made is that these games aren't made with the idea of no-hitting or speedrunning in mind. I've come across people complaining about how the open world take of Elden Ring leads to very long and boring speedruns like wth are you implying that devs should take into account how the game performs on unintended self imposed challenges? get outta here! 😂

Radahn is one of the best characters that fromsoftware ever made and fighting him again was nothing short of amazing and an absolute honour however the nerf that he got was unjustifiable and the only thing that he really needed was for the cross attack to be fixed and giving him one or two windows max but making him less aggressive, more slower, doing less damage and less saitama damage is completely unacceptable and i blame the constant over exaggeration from the cry babies for yet again doing him dirty

How do you only have 30 subs wtf ??????

Good video, mostly. I do disagree that pre-nerf Radahn was a boss you needed to master in order to win. I beat him 6 times on standard playthroughs and never really felt close to mastery on any of them. It wasn't until my RL1 playthrough that I felt like I was approaching that point. And I think aspects of his moveset pre-nerf made true mastery essentially impossible. Post-nerf he's a lot more fair (some hitbox and attack sequencing issues remain in phase 2) but I think most of the criticisms of him before patch 1.14 were valid, and I think that's why he got nerfed. The 1-2-X combo being undodgeable pre-nerf can't have been intentional.

20:12 dude this shit caught me so off guard I died 😂😂 Also just want to say this was a great video, you got a new sub in me bro. Radahn was a super frustrating fight for me mainly from the light beams, but eventually I hit that run that you know is "the run", when you've damn near perfected the first phase and get him one hit from stagger going into second phase so that you can I-frame through Miquella's light. And then managing to survive his meteor attack. I saved my storm hawk summon for the final 10% of his health bar just to secure the victory, and it felt so satisfying. You really speaking truth---you have to go in with a plan for this guy.

Found you through the algorythm, enjoyed the video very much and thought well let‘s see what else they have on the channel. Well, l am now subscriber no. 22 and looking forward to new content :) Keep up the good work, you are very talented! xx from Germany

This is awesome! You could make a fortune!! 👌💯👌

dude retrospective? it came out couple of months ago (jokes aside great content lowk)

When it comes to Shadows, a lot of the complaints are coming from people who genuinely assert that solo, melee only is the intended and best way to play and anything else is cheapening the fights and ignoring mechanics. So they're playing their 6th Soulslike from Fromsoft (Sekiro is offline only and that changes the game a lot) and they are still only using the same buttons and mindset they had for Dark Souls 1. But the games have evolved and franky always had more than they are willing to accept. So it's a different kind of skill issue, a mentality thing. To an extent.
